IRISH TALKING CLOCK

After closing time at the bar, a drunk was proudly 

showing off his new apartment to a couple of his

friends.  He led the way to his bedroom where there

was a big brass gong and a mallet.

'What's that big brass gong?' one of the guests asked..

'It's not a gong. It's a talking clock,' the drunk replied.

 

'A talking clock? Seriously?' asked his astonished friend.

 

'YUP, it is' replied the drunk.

'How's it work?' the friend asked, squinting at it.

'Watch,' the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet,

gave the gong an ear-shattering pound and stepped

back.

 

The three stood looking at one another for a moment...

Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall

screamed,

 

'You ASSHOLE!  It's 3:15 in the MORNING!'
